Talent Acquisition Specialist

Own it While it’s Hot

 Join our People & Culture team on a 6 month Parental Leave contract as we head into an exciting period of growth across Australia!

We’ve been serving up golden-crumbed, pan-fried schnitzels since 2007, using a traditional Polish family recipe. Yup, we’ve sure grown in that time - from a small family business into a nationwide franchise! But the passion and care we put into crafting each schnitzel hasn’t changed, even if the wallpaper has. If good food, good people and good service matter to you, you owe it to yourself to give it a crack at our place.

This role is a 6 month opportunity within our People & Culture team, based out of our offices in South Yarra. And what an exciting time to join the brand!

Looking for a Career that Will Pan Out?

At Schnitz, we know the best things in life come wrapped up in a golden, crispy crumb. But on top of the seriously good food, there’s lots more to love about a career with Schnitz. Our people say three things really stand out:

• A true team that feels like family: Connect with real people who genuinely care, and be part of a true team you can celebrate wins with and lean on when you need it most.
• Real skills that set you up: We offer a real opportunity to build a fun and rewarding career you can truly own.
• A great product and a story that counts: We're more than a food business. We're a proud Australian success story and we're looking for talented people who'll help write the next chapter with us - to build your legacy with ours.

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from Naveeka, who joined us as a Team Member back in 2014 and has now progressed to an amazing career in HR!

“I’m very close with my family; that’s really important to me. And that’s what working at Schnitz feels like – everyone just feels like family.”

Every Schnitzer has their own story. Like you, they're chasing their own happiness, hopes and dreams. That matters here. You matter here. So, whatever your role, we want you to win, as you achieve and grow with us.

Schnitz is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace environment.
